Nasya

An Ayurvedic therapy involving steam inhalation, facial massage and nasal application of herbal oil. The membranes in the nasal passages are very delicate and require lubrication to stay healthy, especially in drier climates. Herbal oil lubricates the nasal passages and removes obstructions to allow smooth breathing or flow of prana or qi. Nasya provides gentle detox while nourishing the nasal passage.

It is recommended as preventative care for individuals prone to allergies, respiratory or sinus infections, or anyone exposed to dry, cold or windy climates. Nasya is best done preventatively, and is often suggested in a series of treatments in close succession for maximum benefit. The treatment is customized according to your constitution and health concerns.
